Beauty Giveaway: Lather + The Beauty of Life Bath Gel

By now you know that The Beauty of Life is a big fan of Lather (catch Jamie’s recent body wash post here). Each of their products is thoughtfully made with the highest quality plant or food based ingredients, and nearly all products are paraben and sulfate free. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, you must get yourself to their flagship retail store -- it’s what I like to call my happy place.

Seriously, thinking about the store now actually makes me happy. The gorgeous space is bright, airy and very approachable. One of the many fun and creative things they do there is display a freshly cut apple: one side untouched, the other dabbed with Vitamin C Peptide Renewal. You can actually see the oxidation difference! They encourage you to try everything and there are two sinks just for that purpose.

Something exclusive to Lather stores is the Blending Bar. Here, you can customize your very own essential oil blend into a body lotion, shower gel, jojoba body oil or roll-on. I see this as being the perfect gift. Who doesn’t like something made and named just for them? During my visit, Tracy, Lather’s resident aromatherapy expert, helped me create an exclusive The Beauty of Life bath gel. After a series of questions (I wanted something floral yet earthy) and lots of smell tests (interjected with whiffs of coffee beans to clear my nose), we began combining different ratios to create a beautifully soothing blend.

The process was more than just fun -- it was art and it was enlightening. The pure oils are all different colors with different potencies, and they are extremely precious. Did you know it takes up to 10 thousand pounds of rose petals to create one measly pound of oil? That means the oil is truly the essence of its original form, and because of that, it has wonderful healing powers. I literally felt my entire body relax with The Beauty of Life blend and Tracy told me why: lemongrass soothes sore muscles, lavender calms the mind and geranium balances hormones.

And there’s more exciting news! Lather is coming out with 3 limited-edition summer blend body oils, which will be available both online and in stores after Memorial Day. Let me tell you, I cannot wait to get my hands on them!

The Beauty of Life bath gel comes in a beautiful 4oz amber bottle with a specially designed Lather + The Beauty of Life label. Isn't it adorable? And here's the best part.
